Jonathan Taylor expects to be traded this season, and yeah, our Seattle Seahawks are reportedly in the mix to land the star running back. But hold up, 12s, because the price tag for this guy is *steep*. This isn’t just a rumor mill churning out whispers; this is Taylor himself, according to NFL insider James Palmer, straight-up anticipating a move.
Colts Are Dealing, and Taylor’s Ready to Bounce
Look, the NFL trade deadline is wild, and the Indianapolis Colts are right in the middle of it. They’re apparently ready to move players, even big names like Jonathan Taylor, and possibly even Josh Downs. And guess what? According to NFL insider James Palmer, Taylor himself isn’t just hoping for a trade; he *expects* to be traded this season. That’s a huge bomb dropped, right? Taylor’s report on NFLonPrime postgame show made it crystal clear. He knows he might be packing his bags.
Now, if you want him, you gotta pay up. The Colts are reportedly looking for around a first-round pick for Taylor. A first-rounder, in the middle of the season, for a running back? That’s a serious ask, no doubt. But there’s a ton of buzz, and enough teams are sniffing around that someone just might bite.
Our Hawks Are Linked, But That Price Tag Is Wild
Our Seahawks are on the list of teams keeping tabs on Taylor, alongside the New York Giants, Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, and Cincinnati Bengals. Yeah, our boys are eyeing him up! But here’s the kicker: that first-round asking price? It might just be too rich for our blood.
The word is, that steep price could take teams like our Seahawks, the Packers, and the Vikings out of the mix. And, interestingly, the source even lists the Colts in that group, which really hammers home just how much they’re asking for Taylor! Meanwhile, the Giants and Broncos are looking like the hot favorites, the “very possible” landing spots, according to the reports.
As of reports heading into Week 9, no team has actually put an offer on the table that the Colts have accepted, and nothing looks “close” yet. But don’t let that fool you. The sheer amount of buzz, coupled with Taylor’s own expectation, tells us this thing is absolutely “in play.”
So, what does this mean for our Hawks? We know they’re interested, but the cost is a major hurdle. With Taylor himself expecting a move, it’s clear this isn’t just a whisper. Will Brian Fleury and Mike Macdonald decide a game-changing running back is worth that first-round capital, or will they watch him go elsewhere? The trade deadline is upon us, 12s. Keep your eyes glued to those news feeds. This could shake up the league, and even if we don’t land Taylor, the fact our Seahawks are even in the conversation for a player of his caliber tells you they’re serious about making moves. Let’s see how this wild story plays out!
